Not sure if this has been posted here before:

Eating ice cream really does make you happy. Scientists have found that a spoonful of the cold stuff lights up the same pleasure centre in the brain as winning money or listening to your favourite music.
Neuroscientists at the Institute of Psychiatry in London scanned the brains of people eating vanilla ice cream. They found an immediate effect on parts of the brain known to activate when people enjoy themselves; these include the orbitofrontal cortex, the "processing" area at the front of the brain.
Eat your heart out guys... I mean "eat your icecream, guys!" I'm off to buy a tub or three!!

Really, truly? Might have to change my mind . So , if I eat chocolate ( which does similar things) and icecream together, woooh hoooh. Watch out!
We have a couple of local breweries and a local icecream shop that have collaborated together. It's not really ice cream weather but I might have to give it a go. I believe they have used an espresso stout and a smokey porter.

No s**t. If you enjoy something, it's obvious the result of neurotransmitters having a reaction. If you told me getting kicked in the scrote was actually hugely enjoyable, then I'd be surprised.

You probably need to try that more often, so you get used to it.
Not everyone enjoys icecream- please explain.

I bought a tub of this on Sunday-
Thankfully, the kids fought over the tub of Cookies and Cream and I was left to eat "my" tub by myself.
I tried not to overdo it and it took me 4 sittings to polish it off.
Very excellent stuff!!
There used to be a Cadbury icecream store at Garden City shopping centre in WA and it sold an icecream with the same name, which tasted identical to this Connoisseur brand. How can this be so??
For those of you who have yet to taste it, here's the Connoisseur description of its Cafe Grande icecream:
CHOCOLATE-COATED ALMONDS AND GRAND MARNIER® FLAVOURED SAUCE WOVEN THROUGH SMOOTH COFFEE ICE CREAM
Inspired by the skilled hand of a barista coaxing the perfect espresso from his ‘machina’, our Café Grande is created for true coffee ice cream aficionados. We craft Café Grande from a special blend of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans, and rich cream. We add to the allure with delectable chocolate-coated almonds and a swirl of GRAND MARNIER® Sauce.

Have never seen that here- will keep my eye out. There are a few Sth African food stores here in Perth but I doubt they'd transport icecream over. I can always ask, though!
The most amazing ice cream from a pack ever, not sure if you can get it anywhere other than Africa but it's the best.

Its probably made from the Coles Smart Buy liquorice allsorts, you're tasting the icing.I bought the much-discussed Coles Liquorice Allsorts on the weekend.....
Maybe I should've said "much disgust" because I almost spat it out! Talk about incorrect labelling! It should've been called Coconut Icecream - that's all I could taste.
I should've known not to trust Coles brand of anything!
(And I really don't like coconut at all!

Probably!
I think the white coloured part of the LA is coconut-flavoured. Also the white stuff from Bassett's liquorice. Strange- I never noticed that coconut taste when I was a kid!
really enjoyed it
weirdly I prefer ice creams in winter. Magnums and bubble o bills

Bought a tub of Sara Lee Caramel Peanut Brittle Ice Cream Wednesday Night. Highly recommend it. It is amazing. The base icecream has a slight caramel flavour, but the caramel swirl and the peanut brittle both are salty and sweet at the same time. Amazing Ice Cream.

I swear Magnums seem to be getting smaller and smaller every year.

FFS - you are making me wet.
You seriously should try it. Coles have it for less that half price at the moment. $4.50 compared to $9.90

Magnum of choice? I used to live on Ego's but they're a bit too sweet for me now. Prefer Almond, Pepperment or Whit Chocolate. Hard to split.
Best one though was Candy Warhol. Musk flavoured Ice Cream coated in white Chocolate with sherbet or pop rocks or something in the chocolate as well. It was amazing!
